Followed the coast from columbo to Hikkaduwa. Surfed there for a few weeks. Travelled through the inland countryside. Great place with good food and nice people. Beaches are excellent.

Travelled up the east coast of Thailand. Stayed at koi Samui for a week, then north to Bangkok. Stayed at Chang mai and did a jungle trek for five days. It was very muddy but the villages were all so different.
